Feauto Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, I63E and E76I, about which it has provided the following data:

I63E E76I
Direct materials per unit $ 22.20 $ 66.60
Direct labor per unit $ 17.50 $ 52.50
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.50 1.50
Annual production (units) 84,000 28,000


The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $3,141,600 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 84,000.



The company is considering using a form of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:

Activities and Activity Measures Estimated
Overhead Cost
Assembling products (DLHs) $ 2,100,000
Preparing batches (batches) 186,000
Product support (product variations) 855,600
Total $ 3,141,600


Expected Activity
I63E E76I Total
DLHs 42,000 42,000 84,000
Batches 1,130 630 1,760
Product variations 2,260 1,260 3,520

The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product I63E under the company's traditional costing system is closest to:

Multiple Choice

  • $37.40

  • $56.10

  • $37.40

  • $18.70

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution OPTION A ( $ 37.40) is the correct answer

Computation of manufacturing overhead rate based on labor hours

Total estimated manufacturing overhead        = $3,141,600

Estimated total direct labor-hours for the year = 84000 hrs

Traditional costing overhead rate based on labor hours = (Total manufacturing overhead / Total direct labor hours )

= $ 3,141,600 / 84000 hrs

= $ 37.40

The manufacturing overhead that would be applied to a unit of product I63E under the company's traditional costing system = $ 37.40

From the above computation we can say that OPTION A ( $ 37.40 ) based on traditional costing method satisfies the given requirement in the question where as remaining OPTIONS B, C, D do not satisfy the requirement in the question and they are incorrect.

Please do rate if my answer was found helpful. Thankyou !!!!!
